Trend Alert: Union Jack Bag

The cool Britannia trend just keeps on going this Spring as the British flag adorns everything, including handbags. It's a great fun style and can be done very cheaply.

Union Jack bags are available in all shapes and sizes, from an Accessorize shopper (£18) to a sparkly clutch (£30). It's an easy way to add a shot of colour to an evening ensemble like an LBD. Last Summer, Agyness Deyn was rarely seen without her Chanel Union Jack clutch (£930) – Topshop offer a great alternative at a much more affordable price (£18).

My favourite of these accessories is Topshop's canvas satchel (£30) which would be great if you're traveling around this Summer.

Love it or Hate it? Karl Lagerfeld's Cheeky Shopper

Karl Lagerfeld was spotted at Nice airport yesterday doing a spot of unusual self promotion in the style of Paris Hilton.

Karl Lagerfeld was spotted at Nice airport yesterday doing a spot of unusual self promotion in the style of Paris Hilton. The Chanel creative director was carrying a shopper bag emblazoned with the words 'Karl Who?' whilst wearing a suit and black aviators. He could have been poking fun at the latest tell-all book to be published which reveals details of his personal life including how he will only drink Pepsi from a crystal glass which has to be replaced every 30 minutes. He recently presented the Chanel cruise collection in Venice, but maybe he's about to make an appearance at Cannes too? What do you think of his cheeky shopping bag?

Emma Watson for Crash Magazine

Karl Lagerfeld, like most of us, is a fan of Emma Watson. He invites her to the Chanel shows and signed her up as the face of young fragrance Coco Mademoiselle. He has recently photographed her for Crash Magazine in a shoot which reveals a different side of the young actress. They decided to work together after meeting at a party. Emma explained to the publication how much she enjoyed working with Karl, "This was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together and he can talk about anything - literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced." She posed in pieces by Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen amongst others. What do you think of this slightly avant garde shoot?

Would You Wear Harem Shorts?

If the latest trouser trend has not impressed you, then this Summer look might be an easier way to work the style.

If the latest trouser trend has not impressed you, then this Summer look might be an easier way to work the style. Harem pants are everywhere at the moment in all range of colours, and are even available in a slightly shorter length.

The shorts are baggy with a dropped crotch, tie waist and a tapered leg. I think they'd look great with a tight fitting vest and sandals, but what about you – will you wear harem shorts?
